State Police win Guns N' Hoses Dodgeball Tournament for 2nd year

GRAND BLANC, MI - Police, firefighters and EMTs from all over Genesee County came together to battle it out Thursday, Oct. 25, 2018, at the Second Annual Guns N' Hoses Dodgeball Tournament. Of the 10 teams that participated in the tournament, Michigan State Police's Flint Post No. 35 took the title for the second year in a row.

"We work really hand in hand with law enforcement, so it's nice to have them come out and kind of blow off some steam," said Angie Essenburg, event coordinator and forensic interviewer at Voices for Children.

Proceeds benefit Weiss Child Advocacy Center, which serves over 500 children a year in Genesee County free of charge.
